The speed of water absorption will be greater if

A

The difference between the osmotic pressure of soil water and that of xylem vessels is always less

B

The difference between the osmotic pressure of soil water and that of xylem vessels is always more

C

The osmotic pressure of soil water is always more than that of xylem vessels

D

The osmotic pressure of soil water is always less than that of xylem vessels

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Increased conc. of soil solution results in the higher osmotic pressure. If the osmotic pressure of soil solution will become higher than the O.P or cell sap in root cells the speed of water absorption will be greater.
